This is the perfect @UnFictional story- weird, goofy and spellbinding, but then unexpectedly emotional

This one will take you to some very trippy places
this is a story I've been working on since the fall with @UnFictionalBob @carlaflou It's about an old tape, subterranean aliens, and one of the first viral conspiracy theories. Plus, my friend Seth! The Philosophy of Flying Saucers | UnFictional | KCRW kcrw.co/2Sp5TZB

Matt Holzman was grumpy and opinionated, creative and inspiring. He always wanted radio stories and movies to be better. He wanted @kcrw to be better. He wanted Los Angeles to be better. laist.com/2020/04/13/rip_mat…
One of my best friends. Matt made you forget your self-doubts and just charge forward anyway; He bossed you into doing whatever made you nervous. Then he would badger you until you felt good about yourself. Hilarious, generous and open-hearted. I’m going to miss him a lot.
Today we pay tribute to Matt Holzman, a brilliant storyteller, colleague and friend who died Sunday after a battle with cancer. (thread)

On this day in 1981, Los Angeles was swept by Fernandomania. Fernando Valenzuela, a pudgy pitcher from Etchohuaquila, Mexico made his first MLB start. It was a complete-game shutout. Dodger fandom was changed forever
